To discover the heady charms of the sultry Philippine capital, you'll need to navigate the chaos of mototaxi rides and a relentless nightlife scene—and eat a lot of garlic rice
Author Jacqueline Detwiler Photography Francisco Guerrero
FOR ALL ITS CHARM, Manila has long been something of a fixer-upper. Over the past 400-odd years, this bayside city has been invaded by the Spanish, ransacked by Chinese pirates and occupied by the British; it's been infiltrated by Japanese soldiers and bombarded by the American GIs who dislodged them. Many of its monuments have been knocked over not once or twice, but as many as five or six times.
So Filipinos have become adept at dusting themselves off and rebuilding with whatever's at hand. They've used the ballast of Chinese pirate ships to pave streets, and built exuberantly decorated buses out of the carcasses of U.S. military vehicles. And while many of the buildings that once made Manila the "Pearl of the Orient Sea" no longer stand, the city remains a rollicking, beguiling puzzle box that zings with energy and zealous hospitality. In Manila, the question is never "What's going on?" but "Will you find it?"

Technologies and tools for safer networks
Security Strategies
Is your data safe? Are your borders protected? This month we examine some expert techniques for building more secure networks.
Real admins think about security all the time, and even if you're a casual user, it pays to know what the intruders know. Services that once were safe are now wide open unless you keep current with the changing times. This month, we examine some security strategies from the experts.
We start with a study on how to protect Voice over IP (VoIP) networks from eavesdroppers and other intruders. You'll learn about some of the encryption technologies available with VoIP and get some practical tips on isolating and protecting voice communications.
Next we'll examine the state of wireless network security. We'll present some strategies for how to make the best of a WEP network, and we'll show you how to maximize the security of later protocols such as WPA and WPA2.
Our next article describes how to use one-time passwords to add two-factor authentication to a secure website. You'll learn about the OTPauth PHP library, and we'll provide a detailed example showing how to set up your own online one-time password system.
The last article in this month's cover set looks at hping, a handy tool for creating test packets to explore intrusion scenarios and check the functionality of firewalls. But that's not all. If you're still looking for more inspired reading on security, turn to our Sysadmin section for an interesting case study on how to hack NFS 3.
You'll never have the perfect network or the perfect tools – the world of network security is changing all the time – and since you can never really pin it down, maybe the best strategy is to read on …

Article seems to be missingI'm not sure if it's intentional but the "read full article" link results in a one-page PDF that only lists what the other articles have, not the articles themselves. It's OK, I have the magazine at home, but was looking for a quick reference and was disappointed I couldn't get to the article on wireless security again (for now).

ContactFiona Libsack, PVHS: 970.237.7107 or email@example.com Logan, LUH: 303.485.4298 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Longmont United Hospital (LUH) and Poudre Valley Health System (PVHS) jointly announced today that cardiovascular surgeons Dr. Mark B. Douthit and Dr. Thomas L. Matthew have joined the Poudre Valley Medical Group.
This commitment to PVHS will be the first step in expanding a regional heart program that supports northern Colorado, western Nebraska and southern Wyoming.
In the past year, Medical Center of the Rockies (MCR) has performed more than 280 open heart surgeries, while LUH has completed roughly 50. Combining the programs bolsters one of the largest heart programs in Colorado. Larger programs with higher volumes and better efficiency are better positioned to adjust more easily to changes in health care. This flexibility allows programs to stay on top of the latest research and cutting-edge technology and offer the best possible patient care.
"LUH is focused on what is best for the patient by uniting our cardiovascular care with MCR," said Mitchell Carson, LUH president and CEO. "Having a centralized, regional open heart program makes sense from both a quality and efficiency standpoint."
"With nearly a century of experience among all four surgeons, the decision to come together was the natural next step both from a patient care and an efficiencies standpoint. Having enough case volume in one location strengthens our program and improves staff proficiency," said Dr. Todd Whitsitt, a cardiologist and president of the Poudre Valley Medical Group board.While LUH will continue to offer a full complement of heart procedures at their facility, patients requiring open heart surgery may be referred to MCR. Over the next 90 days LUH and MCR will work together on details to create a seamless patient experience.
Drs. Douthit and Matthew have been treating patients at MCR since 2009, working alongside cardiovascular surgeons Dr. Mark D. Guadagnoli and Dr. Michael W. Stanton. Douthit and Matthew plan to maintain their longtime medical office in Niwot.
"When I came to Colorado eight years ago I dreamed of building a cardiac surgery program that would provide state of the art care for my patients and this makes it possible, said Dr. Matthew.
"I feel privileged to partner with MCR, and its already well established heart center that is part of a nationally renowned quality health care delivery system," said Dr. Douthit. "This will truly enable us to provide our patients in northern Colorado a heart center of excellence in cardiovascular surgical care."
"Our primary goal has and always will be to provide world-class care for our patients," said George Hayes, MCR president and CEO. "Combining programs allows us to continue to offer superior care and excellent patient outcomes while supporting LUH. And, patients will be able to return to their home community to recover."
MCR has had a similar arrangement with Regional West Medical Center (RWMC) in Scottsbluff, Neb., since 2007.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

Men in the Movement: The Journey of a Pro-Feminist Man
Wanjala Wafula, Guest Contributor
Twelve years ago, I made the unprecedented decision to quit journalism and start a journey into the what was then unfamiliar territory. I had written too many news stories about gender-based violence, sent out too many appeals, and helped too many victims seek redress to no avail. The screams that had punctuated my childhood became too loud, and my conscience was too beset to remain still. Memories of the torture I had witnessed, including that of my own mother and sister, had overtaken my desire to become an author of international repute. So, I left that path behind to work toward a different vision.
At the time I founded the Coexist Initiative, it appeared strange, if not downright bizarre, to imagine that men might play a key role in ending violence against women. If it were an illness, we could easily call it a pandemic. If it were an oil leak, we'd identify it as an environmental catastrophe. Yet, despite gender-based violence being an everyday affair that manifests in numerous forms and cuts across all social, educational, economic, racial, and geographic demographics, it is treated with a casual callousness. It is a slow murder that is swiftly swept under the carpet.
What started out ten years ago as a "fanatical" idea has now spread to all corners of the country and established links across the world. Over ten thousand men and boys are members of Coexist, a testimony that men want to be part of the solution. I have seen men who were erroneously socialized to ill‐treat women wail in regret. I have seen them put up posters condemning violence and sacrifice heavily to send their daughters to school. I have counseled them at family planning clinics as they take an HIV test and responded to their calls to represent the issue in the media.
Tackling men's violence is not easy. We have been labeled 'sissies' by men and called 'cowards' by some women. The funding for our programs has been minimal, and we have undergone public scorn and ridicule. Yet, the result of our work is that we better the lives of women, girls, men, and boys. Tackling gender-based violence requires nothing less than full dedication to parity for women and the redefinition of what it means to be a man.
As a pro‐feminist man and anti-violence advocate, I plead with all men and boys to undertake a commitment not to disregard or remain quiet about aggression against women. With power and love, we are all obliged to work alongside women to bring this violence to an end.
Wanjala Wafula is the Founder and Director of the Coexist Initiative, a grassroots organization focusing on the elimination of gender-based violence in Kenya.

Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme
What is the Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme?
The Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme (MTEP) selects and evaluates new or innovative medical technologies (including devices and diagnostics). MTEP helps the NHS adopt efficient and cost effective medical devices and diagnostics more rapidly and consistently.
The types of products which might be evaluated are medical devices that deliver treatment such as those implanted during surgical procedures; technologies that give greater independence to patients; and diagnostic devices or tests used to detect or monitor medical conditions.
What we do
The Medical Technologies Advisory Committee (MTAC) has two separate functions.
- to select medical devices and diagnostics for which NICE should produce guidance and then route the selected technology to the appropriate NICE guidance producing programme.
- to develop guidance on technologies which is issued by NICE as Medical Technologies Guidance.
Read more about the Medical Technologies Advisory Committee.
Notify a medical device or diagnostic to the programme
All medical technologies notified to NICE which meet the eligibility criteria will be considered by the NICE Medical Technologies Advisory Committee for guidance. NICE only considers technologies which are notified to it by a Sponsor. If you are interested in notifying a medical device or diagnostic test/technology to NICE please visit the notification page.
Contact us
Please send all enquires relating to the Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Financial Benchmarking, Part 1
Originally published: 04.01.09 by Ruth King
Basic ratios can help you view your liquidity, inventory and receivables, giving you a big picture look at your company's financial health.
Knowing that your business is headed in the right direction is a comforting thought. Knowing that your business is headed in the wrong direction before a crisis hits is critical to business survival. Financial benchmarking provides you the assurance that your business is going well, or the clues to when it isn't so that you can take action.
There are two ways to look at financial benchmarking. Both should be used as complements to one another. Short-term benchmarking looks at "the numbers" on a monthly basis. Long-term benchmarking looks at the financial trends in your business.
You can make quick changes that will affect your short-term numbers. Long-term changes require systemic changes and usually cannot be accomplished in a month. These changes are analogous to turning around an ocean liner. It can't be done quickly. When you benchmark you will learn a lot about your business.
Assuming that you have accurate financial statements, these numbers give you the ability to make good, although sometimes painful, financial decisions. Calculating these benchmarks takes at most 15 minutes each month. There is no excuse NOT to do it!
This month I'll show you how to calculate the short-term benchmarks, next month we'll look at long-term benchmarks. Putting these calculations into practice will ensure that your business is heading in the right direction.
Short-term benchmarks are financial ratios. I've developed 10 operating ratios that you need to calculate every month. These are not the same ratios that the bank asks to see. For example, the bank often asks for return on equity. From an operational standpoint, you don't need to see return on equity each month. It's much more important to look at the percentage compensation (which the bank doesn't ask for) to ensure that all of your labor is productive.
Here are the 10 ratios that should be calculated each month: The current ratio is a measure of liquidity, or, in other words, how easily the company can pay its bills. You calculate this ratio by using figures from the balance sheet. The ratio is: Current Assets / Current Liabilities
For safety, this ratio should be 1.8 or greater. The higher the ratio the better.
The acid test is also a measure of liquidity. You calculate this ratio by using figures from the balance sheet. It is calculated: Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities
For safety, this ratio should be 0.9 or better. Look at the relationship between the current ratio and the acid test. If the ratio is greater than 2.0 (for example if your current ratio is 3 and your acid test is 1) then you have too much money tied up in inventory.
The accounts receivable to accounts payable ratio is a measure of liquidity. You calculate this ratio by looking at the balance sheet. It is calculated by: Trade Accounts Receivable / Trade Accounts Payable If 50% or more of your sales are COD, then use trade receivables plus cash divided by accounts payable to determine this ratio. The ratio should be 2 or higher.
This financial ratio is a measure of capitalization of the company. It is calculated: Total Liabilities / Equity This ratio should be as low as possible. However, for most contracting companies it is around 2 to 3. It should definitely not be negative!
The long-term debt to equity ratio is also a measure of capitalization. You calculate this ratio by looking at the balance sheet. It is calculated: Long-Term Liabilities / Total Equity
This ratio should be between zero and 1. Percentage compensation This ratio measures the productivity of your employees. It is calculated: Total Payroll Expenses / Sales
Your company's total compensation as a percentage of total sales should not exceed 20% if you perform mainly new construction work. If your company does mainly service and replacement it should be under 35%.
Inventory turns measure how efficiently the company uses its inventory. The turns are calculated on annual costs. Calculate this ratio by using both the income statement and the balance sheet. It is calculated: Annualized Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory
Inventory turns should be greater than 8. This financial ratio measures how long an average piece of inventory stays in the shop before it is used. You calculate this ratio from the inventory turn number. It is calculated: 365 /Inventory turns
The result should be under 45 days. This figure measures how efficiently the company keeps track of its receivables. The turns are calculated on annualized sales. Calculate this ratio by using both the income statement and the balance sheet. It is calculated: Annualized Sales /Accounts receivable
This figure should be 8 or greater. The receivable days ratio measures how efficiently the company collects its receivables. The days are calculated from the receivable turns figure. It is calculated: 365 / Receivable turns
This figure should be less than 45 days. Each month calculate these ratios and make sure they are going in the right direction. If not, fix the minor issues you see before they become major crises!

When I go to preferences and look at my slide list under "slide details" my slides stop at the slide just before my questions slides. Also the two slides that follow my questions slides do not list here. is this normal behavior?
Also, I am not seeing quiz details, although my sample size is small so far (5 learners). Specifically - under "Quiz Summary" all the summary statements state "No Quiz" However, the final quiz scores are being accurately reported.
The quiz in this course is just a self-assessment. It is not reporting to an LMS, so I have LMS reporting shutoff. The quiz summary slide within the course accurately displays the summary information. Do I need to turn on LMS reporting or something else to see this detail in the ACCC website?
Apologies for the delayed response.
First of all, you DONT have to have LMS reporting etc for course companion to work. Course companion is INDEPENDENT of LMS.
Would it be possible for you to share your CP project? You can mail it to me - giliyaru at adobe dot com

Sent, thank you.

My folks have an old American Standard oil steam boiler that has a McDonnell Miller Series 69 low water cut-off. A few weeks ago, they came back from a weekend getaway to find that the house was 40-something degrees because the boiler had not turned on due to the low water cut-off being corroded so much that it failed. He just installed that one brand new about 4 months ago. And the one before that didn't last very long, either.
The spec page for the cut-off is here:
Does anyone have any suggestions for something more durable, or perhaps some ideas of what he possibly could be doing wrong that leads to this premature failure?
Many thanks,

Picking the 100 best children's books of the year is far from easy. I solicit input from my crackerjack corps of reviewers and do a fair amount of solitary navel-gazing on the subject. I want to make sure I assemble a healthy mix—picture storybooks, informational picture books, poetry, graphic novels, novels, nonfiction, early readers, books for boys, books for girls….You get the picture. And I agonize over my inability to include every book that I have come to love.
But at the end of it all, having whittled the year's output down, I am struck again at the astonishing talent and dedication of the creators and publishers of children's books. Here we have books that will inspire, comfort, inform, delight, provoke and amuse; books for babies through upper-elementary students. Books that welcome children into the world and help them get ready for what is to come. All that agony is definitely worth it.

VS Football Player Named Homecoming Queen
By Dean Close · 11:10pm September 29th, 2011 · 11 hours ago
Photos (8) View All
Homecoming Queen and VS football player Kelly Wagner, with her parents, Cassandra and Ron.
It's a common sight at halftime of a high school Homecoming football game: The King and Queen are introduced. One takes off the helmet that matches the color of those worn by several dozen teammates. The other, who has gotten dressed up for the occasion, comes down from the bleachers. Together they stand in front of the crowd -- and way too many cameras -- and try to keep smiling as countless parents, peers and journalists take a picture.
That will happen tonight, when Vinton-Shellsburg plays Anamosa for the annual Homecoming game.
But this time, it will be the Homecoming Queen who takes off her helmet and heads toward the waiting cameras, while the King walks down from the bleachers to take his place at her side.
Kelly Wagner has already made school history this football season. She became the first female ever to score points for the Vikings when she kicked an extra point against South Tama four weeks ago. She kicked two more extra points that night, and four more two weeks later against W. Dubuque.
On Thursday night, Kelly, who moved to Vinton while still in high school, was named the 2011 Vinton-Shellsburg Homecoming Queen.
"It's awesome," she said, after helping the senior girls play against the juniors in the annual Powder Puff game. "When I first came here, I didn't think the others would accept me the way they have. I think this football stuff has helped a lot."
Viking coach Pat Farley was aware of Kelly's success on the soccer field; she played on traveling club teams for years before becoming a starter for the Vikette team. She set her first Vinton-Shellsburg school record in April by scoring three goals in one game.
Farley knew the Vikings had some "question marks" at the kicking position, so he asked Kelly to consider trying out for the team.
It was not the first time a football coach made her that offer.
"I was at Iowa Valley and the coach asked me to try out there," she said. "But my mom was against it."
This time, she said, "I was a senior, and I decided to accept the offer."
'Like a family'
When coach Farley recruited Kelly, he told her she would have to "commit" to the football program, and she has.
While Kelly only trots onto the field for only handful of plays on Friday nights, during the week she is as much a part of team as every one of the guys. She's at every practice, and in the weight room.
"She caught on very quickly," said Farley.
The players have been very good at treating the first girl in school history to play football as just another member of the team, said Farley.
"We had several guys who seemed to take the lead in saying 'She's one of us,'" said Farley.
The coach expected that response from his players, but he also said that Kelly's presence on the team has caused some positive dynamics that he still can't quite explain.
"The biggest difference is that our football players are more balanced; the team feels more like a family," Farley said the morning after his team's kicker was crowned Queen.
On Thursday night, at the Homecoming pep rally, Kelly sat with her parents, Ron and Cassandra, on the bench with the other Homecoming candidates, and her mother's arm tightly wrapped around her.
Then the announcer told the crowd it was time to name the new Queen and King.
Last year's Queen, Codi Snyder, walked among the candidates as they stood on the track, in the traditional circle, shivering against the cold autumn breeze. Finally, Kelly felt two hands placing a tiara on her head.
Another soccer player, John Levis, was crowned Homecoming King by 2010 King Alex McGee. John was one of the students who led the campaign to get a boys varsity soccer team added at Vinton-Shellsburg; that team begins its first practice in a few months.
The cameras came out again; Kelly and John stood, smiling, trying to look at several photographers at once.
Then it was her parents' turn. After several more photos for the family, Kelly changed out of her dress and into her purple Powder Puff t-shirt.
"This has been the biggest opportunity of her life," said Kelly's father, Ron, as he stood watching his daughter play football -- with other girls, for a change. "All of the students have been very welcoming towards her."
The players, say Kelly, have treated her like she's one of the team. "They all treat me with respect," she said.
Perhaps the biggest gesture of respect came from the Vikings' star running back, Nolan Edwards, during the team's scrimmage a week before the season.
During that game, Kelly kicked off for the very first time in her life.
"I asked Coach Chvala, 'What do I do after I kick the ball?'" Kelly recalls.
Coach Aric Chvala told her to play like a free safety, and move toward the runner if he gets past the other defenders, "and try to stop him."
Edwards received the kick on that August night, and ran and fought his way past 10 members of the kickoff team. Soon, the only thing standing between No. 34 and a touchdown was No. 7. He faked left; she stayed still. He faked right. Same response. So he went straight. The two collided; Kelly landed hard on her back. But she succeeded in bringing Edwards down and preventing a touchdown -- something that several guys on other high school teams would later fail to do.
"She showed on that play that she was one of us," said Coach Farley.
Was Kelly sore after that first tackle?
"Yes," she said. "I had a bruise on my leg for two weeks after that."
"And another one on her chin," adds her father.
In a few weeks, the season will be over. Kelly will hang up her cleats and prepare for the spring soccer season. Then it's on to college, and hopefully a career in her favorite field, psychology. And of course, more soccer.
"I want to be a coach someday," she said.
But for the next few weeks, Kelly's life will be all about the American kind of football.
Tonight, when Vinton-Shellsburg scores a touchdown, spectators will begin hearing a loud chant as the extra point team trots onto the field: "Kelly! Kelly!" Then a Viking will snap the ball to No. 6, who will put the ball in place.
Then No 7, the Homecoming Queen, will kick it.
Does Kelly know how much school history she has made?
"Yes," she says. "It's been awesome."
(And just in case you are wondering, Kelly is not the first Homecoming Queen to play football in the USA. At least two high school girls did that last year; another Homecoming Queen suited up with her team in 2009.)

Sega Bass Fishing: you laughed at it, you likely mocked anyone you watched play it, but you know you loved it. The game is a modern arcade classic and it translated well when it was brought home for the Dreamcast. I was always impressed that a group of developers could take fishing and turn it into a game that even non-fishing fans could love. When I heard that the team behind it was crafting a new fishing game for Sony's PS Vita, I got very excited. An updated, portable version of the fishing classic? Count me in. Unfortunately, even after taking Let's Fish: Hooked On under consideration, I'm still waiting.
Let's Fish brings a lot to the table, or at least it appears to bring a lot to the table. There is a challenge mode, a World Tour fishing championship, as well as training and tutorial modes. The problem is that they all feel the same. It is as if all of this framework for a robust and deep game is here, but it is never put to good use. The training and tutorial modes, for example, never dive into anything deeper than the basic controls. You are told how to cast, sink in your hook, and reel in fish. There is never any mention of the wide variety of factors that you would normally have to consider when fishing.
One would think that with all of this room for complicated gameplay, you could really emulate the fishing experience. It would certainly seem as if that was being considered at one time when you look at everything that they put into the game. There is a lot of information about water depth, lure stats and ratings, weather conditions, different times of day, and other real-world mechanics that you would think might make a difference in the fishing experience. There are also some unrealistic factors that come into play, too, including special skills with each of the game's four characters. All of these things are present but never explained beyond a "pay attention to this" message early on.
The game never tells you how to utilize any of those factors. You never learn how the weather effects the fish or which lures are for which conditions. At first this seems like an oversight in the game's presentation, but soon you will realize that, despite the inclusion of all of these factors, they don't make a difference. The entire experience boils down to casting a random lure, looking around to see if their are any fish nearby, and then hoping that one grabs your bait, or reeling it in and trying again.
There is a good framework here for a deeper experience, but it is never fully realized. Once you latch onto a fish, you have to reel it in while paying attention to the tension in your line and fighting the fish's desire to escape. This feels a lot like Sega Bass Fishing at first (which would be a good thing), but it never changes. Every catch feels exactly the same. You are given occasional prompts which you can react to by either moving your analog stick or swiping your finger on the touchscreen, but they never vary from being either straight horizontal or vertical motions. Plus, it feels like you have all of the time in the world to respond to them. In all of my time with the game, I have only lost one fish to s snapped line, and that was during my first day of playing. There just isn't any challenge to be found here, which leads to a really bland experience.
Those special skills that I mentioned earlier are proudly displayed with each character but don't amount to much. They all play pretty much the same with just a slight variation in their performances. One may reel in faster than another, and one might cast farther than the rest, but when it comes down to reeling in fish, they are all the same. This is sad, too, because the game goes out of its way to establish four distinct personalities in its character lineup. There are four, well-designed characters that could approach this sport differently, yet it all feels the same.
That same vagueness and ambiguity is found in the game's primary modes as well. Sure, there are different modes of play, but they all amount to the same thing. The challenge mode simply tacks a time limit on your fishing adventure and challenges you to catch either a certain amount or cumulative total weight of fish. Once again, they will put you in different scenarios and settings, but the gameplay factors and experience never change.
The World Tour mode is the exact same thing. Different tournaments that set those same goals, but play exactly the same over and over and over again. The only saving grace that even remotely inspires you to keep playing is the ability to unlock a wide variety of lures and earn points that can be traded towards unlocking additional skills. The only problem is that those lures and skills don't really alter your game; they don't make a noticeable impact on the experience or your ability to catch fish.
The game's visuals can be a roller coaster ride of good and bad. The developers have made an attempt to apply a cartoony/anime style look to the characters, but not the world around them. It just comes across as odd. You have these distinctly manga-like characters interacting in realistic-looking environments; it is like the game doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it an anime or a sim, because it doesn't do too good of a job at being either.
Things can get downright ugly when you go to the underwater views, too. While the fish look decent and have semi-respectable animations, the surface textures and the plant life in particular look like they were ripped out of a game from 20 years ago. There is a glaring lack of consistency in the quality of the game's different parts. At least the soundtrack, albeit repetitive and bland, stays consistently so throughout. The music is a little too overbearing, drowning out the attempts made to mimic the nature settings with bird and nature sounds. The game just always feels at odds with itself.
While I had seriously high hopes for Let's Fish, it really turned out to be nothing more than a giant mini-game collection. This might pass as a part of a larger RPG or something like animal Crossing, but as a stand-alone game it is a huge let down. It has all of the pieces to be a bigger, more ambitious product, but those pieces just never quite come together. Inconsistent yet stylized visuals and a decent interface don't mean anything when the meat of your gameplay amounts to holding a button and occasionally pressing your analog stick in a specified direction. Despite having the tools for more, that is about as deep as it gets with Let's Fish: Hooked On. I hate to be so harsh, but you would be better off saving your money for just about anything else.
More On:
Let's Fish: Hooked On
Wired Productions
Heavily Flawed
I really wanted this to be good but it turned out to be a total mess. Let's Fish is comprised of a bunch of great ideas and potential that never come to fruition. Its gameplay is overly simple and the technical aspects of the game are at odds with each other. Just stay away...far, far away.

I look at all the posts here... I made a post asking about LSU's season, JTG makes a post about McNabb, Spooky makes his usually weekly craziness post, etc... I look at these posts and I see they have like 125, 585, 1008 etc views. HOWEVER, they might have one or two people responding. I don't get it? Don't you guys like to type or chit chat? Just curious as to why people don't hop on and give us their opinions. Hell right or wrong we're all here for the same reasons to share our picks and knowledge and ok maybe to have a little fun while we do it (ie: spooky's crazy pics LOL)
Anyway I was just wondering who's out there peeping and not talking?
And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly...

Half-centuries from Karl Brown and Mark Chilton put the cap on a useful three days for Lancashire at the Parks ground in Oxford today.
The first-class friendly against the students of Oxford MCCU finished in a draw.
Going into the final day with a second innings lead of 147, coach Peter Moores and captain Glen Chapple understandably chose more match practice over chasing a victory.
Brown, the 22 year-old opener, notched a maiden career first-class half-century off 87 balls during the morning session, while Chilton added to a first innings ton with his 82-ball fifty during the afternoon session.
Brown finished with 72 off 122 balls and Chilton 52 not out off 89 balls on a pitch beginning to show signs of uneven bounce. Lancashire declared their second innings on 223-6 from 61 overs to signal an early tea.
When they returned to the field, the students were chasing a near impossible 349 in one session.
Seamer Marc Milligan took 3-55 from 18 overs for the hosts, accounting for Andrea Agathangelou, Brown and Sajid Mahmood. Agathangelou and Brown shared 44 for the first wicket, while Brown later added 42 with Chilton for the fourth.
Brown's fifty included nine boundaries with his most eye-catching shot an emphatic pull through mid-wicket off the bowling of Don Gordon, who took two wickets.
Assistant coach Gary Yates said: "Browny's worked hard this winter. Technically he's worked hard on playing the ball with higher hands, and there's been good evidence of that in the practice games we've played.
"But he'll be a bit disappointed that he's got himself in during all those – he's had three thirties and a seventy – and not kicked on in one or two of those. Half-centuries are good, but they don't win you games. It's the big scores that do that.
"It's an ideal scenario that players get a lot of time in the middle, and he's probably had the most out of our squad along with Mark Chilton.
"If he's selected for that first Championship game, he'll feel like he's in a pretty good place."
Oliver Newby affected the run out of Sam Agarwal (21) with a direct hit from mid-on in the eleventh over of the Oxford effort before Chapple bowled Richard Coughtrie and Simon Kerrigan trapped Ed Young lbw to leave the score at 43-4 in the 20th.
Oxford were 51-3 from 24 overs in their second innings when the players shook hands at 5pm.

Where: JSU Stadium, Jacksonville.
Radio: 91.9 FM (Jacksonville), 97.9 FM (Oxford)
Four-down territory
1. It's do-or-die: Jacksonville State is making its fourth appearance in the Division I-AA/FCS playoffs and second in the last four years. It's the second year in a row the Gamecocks have hosted. They are looking for their first win, losing to Western Kentucky and Furman in one-sided affairs in 2003 and 2004, and to Wofford in a close game in 2010. Samford is making its third Division I playoff appearance and first since 1992, the year JSU won the Division II national title. That 1992 team reached the national semifinals. Today's winner travels to No. 6 national seed McNeese State next week.
2. Renewed rivalry: It took the FCS selection committee to bring back together two teams 80 miles apart. The series with Samford is JSU's oldest, but the teams haven't played each other since 2007 and it's not likely they will again anytime soon. The combination of a tough Southern Conference and the need to play guarantee games leaves the Bulldogs little room for another tough and potential road opponent. The Gamecocks are 12-7-1 in the series since 1948 and won the last eight games when it ended to take the all-time lead 22-21-2.
3. Decorated QBs: Both teams have quarterbacks who were recognized by their conferences. Samford sixth-year senior Andy Summerlin, a transfer from Memphis, was named the Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Running an offense with multiple formations and the occasional trick play, Summerlin has thrown for a school-record 3,559 yards and 25 touchdowns to 17 different receivers. JSU junior Max Shortell, a transfer from Minnesota, was an All-Ohio Valley Conference second-team pick despite missing four games with injuries. He is 102-of-178 passing for 1,435 yards and six touchdowns. He splits time with redshirt freshman Eli Jenkins.
4. Team of destiny: Samford coach Pat Sullivan, the 1971 Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn, wouldn't say it, but the case could be made. The Bulldogs won their last two regular-season games in dramatic fashion to share the conference title and get into the playoffs. They beat Chattanooga in overtime, basically knocking out the Mocs, and beat Elon on a touchdown pass with seven seconds to play. The Gamecocks fought their way into the field. They were 1-2 at one point in their conference season, but came out of their open date by winning four of their last five, losing only to No. 2 national seed Eastern Illinois.
Key matchup
Samford's Fabian Truss vs. JSU's defense and coverage teams: The senior running back leads the FCS in all-purpose yards with a 200.45-yard average. He averaged more than 100 yards rushing and receiving, and has been electric on returns, averaging 32.1 on kickoffs (with two touchdowns) and 14.8 yards on punts. He has more than 6,600 career all-purpose yards and nearly 3,100 career rushing yards
This has the potential to be a close one. Can JSU's running attack offset Samford's passing game? Can Samford overcome JSU's post-war history in the series and can JSU overcome the OVC's playoff jinx? Can Samford's late-game heroics offset JSU's home-field advantage? ... JSU 30, Samford 28.

Use a single wax without horn.
Got a question concerning the installation of the AS Studio toilet. The toilet flange is mounted on top of the finished floor and the flange is 7/16" thick or 7/16 above the floor. When I measured the toilet, it has only 5/8" space underneath for this flange and the wax gasket. This means only about 3/16" of space for the wax gasket once compressed.
Is that enough room for the wax or is there another way to install this?
Use a single wax without horn.
Thanks Terry,
Doesn't the horn help prevent the wax from oozing into the drain pipe or am I a bit confused? Given the amount of compression on the wax I'd think I would want some protection from oozing into the pipe.
If you only have 3/16" of space between the porcelain and the flange, the horn will only cause problems.
How do you then stop the wax from getting into the drain?
The horn of the toilet helps to contain it. The funnel in the wax ring can create more problems than it is designed to fix, especially if you have a smaller flange on a 3" pipe...sometimes, the wide part of the funnel is too big once pushed into that opening, and it literally causes it to close up. The opening of the toilet horn is typically in the order of a bit over 2", and the opening into the pipe is nominally at least 3"...there's room, and in your case, little chance of wax being an issue...stay away from the funnels except in unusual circumstances.

Always thought the horn was a plus so it's interesting to learn it's not. Just pulled a toilet that's been installed for 10-15 years and I was surprised to find it's been leaking for some time. Maybe since first installed. Plywood subfloor will have to be replaced. There has never been any external signs of a leak and the water had apparently gone underneath the vinyl flooring.
Like your install my flange is raised above the subfloor. Probably a good 1/4 inch above the subfloor and when I scraped off the wax it was no more than 3/16 inch thick. The wax seal did have one of those funnels on it so after coming across this thread I'm wondering if that didn't have something to do with the leaking.
I was going to install another funnel style seal instead of the single wax that came with the toilet but now I think I'll just go with the single wax as Terry suggested. It's just a temporary install pending a bathroom remodel so I'll have a chance to see how it holds up.
Many millions of toilets are installed without leaks with just wax. Plastic hasn't been around forever, and certainly less than wax for this application.
If you're worried (unnecessarily!) about wax, there are a few waxless seals you can use, and they're reusable, should you need or want to remove the toilet (say to paint behind it) sometime in the future.

One of the high rise buildings in Bellevue was using Sterling toilets on a high flange. The original plumbers installed wax rings with horns. We found going back, that the horn was preventing the bowls from settling down to the floor properly.
We were in there installing TOTO toilets at the time.
I like to set a bowl over the flange with nothing sometimes to see how flat the floor is.
Then if I set the bowl down, and I can't get it to drop all the way down, I know the horn, if used, is causing a prolem.
I've done it enough times, that it it looks tight, I skip the horn.
Some plumbers never use a wax with horn, and that works too.
How good are these waxless seals? At Lowe's near me they have one made by Fernco.
It depends on how clean and smooth the inside of the pipe is for those that fit inside the pipe (they seal with an oversized O-ring). There's one shaped like a normal wax ring made out of a closed cell foam that is used pretty much like a wax seal. I've used the one made by Fluidmaster, but not the Fernco one. THe wax ring emulator seems to work from responses here...I've not seen or used one.
In reality, you can't beat an inexpensive wax ring, though. The waxless are reusable, which can be handy during remodeling.

San Antonio Business Journal (Texas) - Texas recovery funding is filling some gaps
What has this $787 billion recovery plan meant for Texas thus far? Here are some highlights.
Much of the ARRA funding was allocated to the expansion of existing federal benefit programs, and more than one-third of it was earmarked for tax cuts and incentives for individuals and businesses. The remainder has been and continues to be awarded competitively across states either directly from federal agencies or, by extension, through local and state governments.
Second-quarter 2010 reports for State agencies and public institutions in Texas show that Texas has received some 1,393 federal awards totaling over $9.8 billion.
The Texas Comptroller's office estimates that these funds generated some 40,583 full-time equivalent jobs.
While institutions and businesses across the state are still competing for ARRA funds, the Texas Legislature has appropriated $14.4 billion of stimulus money for fiscal 2009-2011, with 93 percent going to five state agencies: Texas Education Agency, Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and the Texas Workforce Commission.
When all of these elements are considered, The Perryman Group estimates that the stimulus likely created or preserved at least 150,000 jobs in the state, enough to lower the unemployment rate by about 1.2 percentage points from where it would be otherwise. [10/22/10]
KFYR NBC-5 (North Dakota) - Final Stimulus Numbers Announced for Rural North Dakota
[DISTRICT MENTIONED: Earl Pomeroy (ND-At Large)]
State Director Jasper Schneider today announced the final tally of stimulus investments in North Dakota through USDA Rural Development. The figures total nearly $200 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) projects that are building a better rural North Dakota.
Through the Recovery Act, USDA Rural Development provided $199,443,380 in assistance to North Dakota through loans, grants and loan guarantees. Investments were made in critical infrastructure to sustain rural economies and ensure their long-term success. The direct impact is shown in the immediate jobs created or saved and the permanent positions made available. The investments will provide opportunities for job creation well into the future.
Also, Rural Development has financed a wide variety of projects through seven program areas addressing the diverse and unique needs of rural communities. The investments have supported essential public facilities and services such as water and sewer systems, housing, health clinics, public safety facilities, renewable energy, and broadband technology.

Crain's News York Business (New York) - Queens supermarket opens, thanks to stimulus cash
A new Stop & Shop supermarket opening Friday in Queens is one of the latest examples of a commercial project benefiting from federal tax-exempt funding.
The $23 million, 55,000-square-foot supermarket on the Rockaway Peninsula received $5.5 million in tax-exempt Recovery Zone bonds made available through the Obama administration's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The supermarket, located at 70-20 Rockaway Beach Blvd., has already created 200 construction jobs and will employ 100 full- and part-time workers when fully staffed.
"New York City has been a national leader in the use of Recovery Zone bonds to invest in hard-hit communities," Dan Tangherlini, assistant U.S. Treasury secretary for management and chief financial officer at the U.S. Department of Treasury, said in a press release. "With the help of this low-cost borrowing tool, this new supermarket is a perfect example of what the Recovery Act was intended to do - jumpstart development and create new jobs." [10/22/10]
